It never ceases to amaze me what lengths some people will go to in order to convince themselves (primarily) and others of their thinking and/or to position themselves in such a peculiar niche.
Take this website for example:
Progressive Conservative Foundation
"A 'progressive conservative' is socially and fiscally conservative, but is progressive in problem solving. However, a progressive conservative applies conservative principles to the progressive ideas utilized to solve problems. Generally, progressive conservatives are Republicans, but can come from various political groups. Progressive Conservatives have a Christian Faith."
I mean, honestly folks, where is the reality?
Ok, lets be fair and ignore the obvious tautology of the name and the irony of the acronym (PC) for now. We'll look at this for what it represents.
What I'm really astounded at is the uber-conservative restrictions placed on the oddly progressive notion that one could be progressive in solving problems whilst only applying conservative principles from a Christian perspective.
Geometrically it would probably resemble an amorphous blob (progressive) trying to escape the boundaries of an immovable and equal-sided quadrilateral (square conservative). *grin*
You've got to give the guy credit for trying, but he has lost before he even starts.
Its like a hare and tortoise rematch, where the tortoise gets to use rocket roller skates (speed limited to 1km/hr) and the hare can start a day earlier and gets an alarm clock to wake him up! In the end it is the same race and the tortoise will still win!
But gee, these GOP variants are good for a laugh, eh?
